A copper coloured best bitter, traditionally brewed using only the finest quality of Stonehenge Spring Water, barley, crystal and wheat malts, whole hops and the brewery’s own top-fermenting yeast. This session beer is medium bodied with plenty of flavour in the aftertaste and is very noticeably malty, fruity and hoppy.

Palate holds almost no condition, flat and semi sweet, Flavour is composed of sweet toffee, apple, slight tangy fruit, hay, brown bread. Slightly rustic. Liner sweet malts with a hint of vanilla.

Cask at the Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. Amber with a thin cream head; syrupy aroma; sweet and syrupy taste with some orange fruit; and a gently herbal bitterness before a sweet biscuity finish. Satisfying.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Pours a cloudy amber with a fine, whitish head. Bready malt nose. Lightly sweet flavor, bit of yeast, slight wood, dough. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Kind of bland finish, light sugars, dough and yeast, faint herbal and earthy bitterness. Condition is lacking but it might not matter much here. Average at best.
